Transportation for Maryland
Maryland’s transportation system needs clear and bold goals to ensure our prosperity, access to good jobs, and environmental sustainability for all Marylanders. This means improving the way we plan our transportation systems and developments to ensure that there are convenient and affordable travel options available to everyone. Speaker will discuss legislation before the General Assembly concerning reforms to our transportation system in order to ensure that every dollar invested in transportation results in a system that works better for all Marylanders.

[Ahhh, Dear Ms. Secretary as much as I love trails and it would be cool to use them as bicycle transportation routes if they were accessible from home and work but even dealing with what we have numerous issues have surfaced such as failing to clear commuter trails of snow. If trails are indeed transportation please treat them as such. Thank you.]
